I thought it would be a good idea to trade seeds from this years pumpkins for the seeds from other growers pumpkins from this year. I'm looking to build up a good seed catalogue to give me options for a later date. This year we came up with the following seeds.

1175 Est. (1236 Eaton x 845 Nesbitt) pumpkin went down to a small hole at the first rib. It had a 15 ft. 7 inch circumference.

928.4 (927 Kaye x 805 Pukos) Almost 10% heavy to chart.
855.2 (805 Pukos x 723 Bobier) Crossed back.
756 Est (845 Nesbitt x 1236 Eaton) Sound pumpkin, not weighed.
660 Est. (840 Joynson x 805 Pukos) Sound pumpkin, not weighed. Three generations of only Pukos 805 genes.

I want your seeds from this year. E-mail me with what you grew this year and we'll exchange details. Thanks.

Cow,
Will you trade for some really crappy seed I have that's about 15 years old, all dried up and unknown lineage? I can scrape the black spots off for ya'.
Lemme know....

Gee southern man , you really haven't progressed much in the last 15 years have you? I guess old habits die hard. ;0)

Thanks to all those that have emailed so far. This is working out very well and I'm gaining some great seed with sound genetics. Let it be know however that all seed traded will become my property to be used as I see fit. If I choose to plant it, trade it or give it away that's my choice. Conversely those seeds traded to you are yours to do whatever you see fit to do with. I won't get all bent out of shape because it's on your trading list. As long as seed ends up with somebody who has a home for it, everybody's happy. I still have loads of seed left. If you only have one or two seeds to trade, I'll still send you out my 5. It's a win-win situation for both parties.

Thanks
Phil

Yea well Cowpoop, I DID mean it nasty. You and your 1175, humph!
Actually, I'm just a bit envious (although the Bible says I shouldn't be my friend Phillipe') but I have to admit, you can grow brother, grow, and grow, and grow......
Snap 'em up quick boys, while they're still around.

Excuse me?
I have zero/zip/nada/nana Gadberry seed. I don't need 'em, don't want 'em, wouldn't plant 'em if I had 'em. After your public spectacle, you couldn't trade 'em either.
Make any statement you wish but I have no seeds of yours and if I by chance did, you can rest assured they'd be on their way home first class express.
Believe me, there's soooooo much better out there from sooooo much friendlier people who aren't wound so tight as you.

Hey, I don't mind a bit. It's great that I have a running soap opera on my thread, it kinda drums up business. Please feel free to take pot-shots at southern right here folks. HA! I told you I'd get you back southern man. Hee, Hee. In all seriousness though... Ben was mistaken in his posting and thought that you were being serious in your posting. He asked me about it and was sorry about it. Ben's cool. Hey, but don't let that stop anybody else from taking a shot at southern! Only one seed trade per cheap shot! ;0) (Hee, Hee)
